Did you know that only around 2% of the world’s population have blonde hair? Don’t be fooled by the number of people that seem to have blonde locks – most of them have probably dyed their hair that way.
Are you planning to go blonde too? Whether you want your hair to be sandy blonde, golden blonde,or platinum blonde, going for that change may need more than just a visit to a salon. Before taking the plunge, here are some important things you need to know before you can successfully pull-off the blonde look.
It is not cheap
Going blonde not only requires you to visit a salon once, but it could probably be in your to-do list once every two weeks. You might even feel like you are best friends with your stylist because of how often you’ll see each other! Since your roots are growing, he or she may need to do regular touch-ups depending on your desired blondness. Please note that your natural hair color matters. Going from very dark to blonde may need a transition plan because doing it once may mean serious damage to your hair. Girl, you have to save for that “Blonde Fund”!
Your hair will need some serious TLC
Going blonde requires higher levels of bleaching products like ammonia and means weaker hair strands. It may be necessary to have your hair treated after having it bleached. There are various choices of masks you can ask from your stylist that can help you replenish moisture and restore balance to your strands. You may also help boost the vibrance of your blonde hair by using fanola shampoo as it helps eliminate unwanted yellow tones from hair, making it more lustrous and healthy-looking.
It requires professional help
Bleaching on your own hair could possibly mean things can get ugly– fast! Decide on what kind of blonde you want to achieve, get a professional colorist to do it for you, and be specific with your hair goals. If you have questions, they are the best people to ask. They may also help you to choose the shade of blonde that will best suit your skin color. You do not want to be left with uneven yellow, white, and green strands instead of a platinum blonde!
